MURFREESBORO — An armed robber ran into unexpected resistance Wednesday night when his intended victim delivered something other than food and cash, according to a Murfreesboro Police Department report.

Officer Earl Crow reported that the victim was delivering food to a residence on Willowbrook Drive, but the person at the residence denied ordering it.

As the delivery man went back to his vehicle, according to the report, he was approached by a man wearing a hoodie and holding a gun. The robber demanded money.

The delivery man told officers he didn’t think the gun was real, so he delivered a “kick to the groin area,” the report stated.

He then fled to his vehicle and called police — while making his next delivery.
